Miscellaneous
Should a delegate not attend the event, for whatever reason, no further claims for reimbursement or waiving of fees can be made.

At ESC’s initiative
Modification of the programme
The ESC reserves the right to modify the event programme at any time, which is published as an indication only and subject to change.
No waiving of fees nor right to further claims will be possible should the ESC be obliged to alter the programme of Heart Failure 2024.
Changes, postponement and cancellation
Given serious cause, the ESC is entitled to postpone (modify the dates), to curtail the duration, or to cancel the onsite event. In the event of complete or part postponement or curtailment, the registration is regarded as valid for a possible new date and new duration for the said onsite event.
If the onsite event has to be cancelled, the ESC will strive to maintain the online event and any onsite registration will be automatically transferred to an online registration. The delegate will be refunded the difference between the onsite and online fee, at the rate applicable when the original onsite fee was paid.
If, due to any contingency that the ESC cannot overcome (in particular force majeure), both the onsite event and the online event have to be cancelled, registrations by individuals will be reimbursed in full, however a charge for administrative costs may be retained for group registrations, as specified in the Group registration conditions. Apart from reimbursement of registration fees, delegates will not be entitled to compensation for any costs or damages incurred as a consequence of such event cancellation, change or postponement. For example, no compensation will be due for costs related to housing and travel arrangements.
If travelling to the onsite event, delegates are urged to take personal travel insurance.
